(exp) Whether the printer specified in the DataWindow.Printer property is used when data is exported to PDF. Values are:

The Distill! method performs a PostScript “print to file” before distilling to PDF. This property can be set to specify that you want to use a custom PostScript printer before you call the SaveAs method with PDF! as the SaveAsType or select File>Save Rows As with the file type PDF in the DataWindow painter.
Set this property if you want to use a PostScript printer driver for which you have set specific print options such as options for font and graphic handling. If this property is not set, a default PostScript printer driver specifically designed for distilling purposes is used.
This property has no effect if the Export.PDF.Method property is set to XSLFOP!.
In the Data Export tab in the Properties view for the DataWindow object, select PDF from the Format to Configure list and Distill! from the Method list, and then select Distill Custom PostScript.
This example uses Modify to set the PDF export properties and specify a network printer:
dw1.Modify("DataWindow.Export.PDF.Method = Distill!")
dw1.Modify("Printer = '\\print-server\pr-18' ")
dw1.Modify
("DataWindow.Export.PDF.Distill.CustomPostScript='1'")
